Description

Explore the dark and complex history of one of England's oldest and most famous institutions. A History of the Fleet Prison, London: The Anatomy of the Fleet provides a detailed look at the realities of this privately-owned debtors' prison. This work traces the institution's evolution from its medieval origins through centuries of administrative change and public scrutiny. Readers will learn about the celebrated inquiry into prison administration during the 1610s and the subsequent misuse of authority by wardens starting in the 1680s.
